Edencraft recently hosted an inspiring event aimed at fostering the next generation of marine industry professionals. As part of Boating Careers Industry Immersion Day, a group of enthusiastic students visited Edencraft’s factory to explore the multifaceted world of boat building.
The tour, led by Operations Manager Tom Kelly, provided the students with a comprehensive walkthrough of the boat building process. The journey began in the lay-up shed, where the initial stages of boat construction take place, and continued through to the joining and fit-out sheds, where boats are systematically assembled and finished. The highlight for many was a visit to Edencraft Creative’s 5-axis CNC machining centre, a cutting-edge facility where the plugs for all boat parts are crafted for new designs.
This immersive experience not only showcased the technical skills required to build Edencraft’s high-quality boats but also highlighted the precision and innovation embedded in modern boat manufacturing. Students expressed their amazement at the complexity and expertise involved in creating each Edencraft from a drum of resin.
By opening its doors to future boat builders, Edencraft hopes to ignite a passion for marine careers and encourage more young people to consider this dynamic field. The visit was more than just an educational day; it was an opportunity for students to see firsthand the potential career paths within the marine industry and to envision themselves as part of this exciting world.
As the industry continues to evolve, initiatives like this are crucial for inspiring and training the next generation of boat builders. Edencraft and Boating Careers’ commitment to education and industry engagement not only enhances its community ties but also ensures the sustainability and innovation of the boating industry for years to come.
